Sam splashes around on hols

SEXY Sam Faiers left little to the imagination as she showed off her bronzed
body in Tenerife.

The Only Way Is Essex star jetted off to the Canary Isle with pal Harry
Derbidge to fit in a spot of winter sun at the weekend.

And the party-mad pair wasted no time soaking up the sun as they left the UK’s
miserable weather behind.

Sam, 20, showed off her tanned curves in a tiny red Lipsy bikini as she
splashed around with Harry, 16, in a pool.

They then took to one the island’s beaches to bathe in the heat – and both
focused their efforts on making sure Sam’s bikini top was in place.

The glamour model later swapped one skimpy outfit for another – as she paddled
in the pool in a white and blue striped two piece.

Sam seemed to be making the most of her free time before filming of the new
series of the ITV2 show starts as she sipped on a tropical cocktail while
she relaxed.

After arriving in Tenerife she was quick to flaunt her curves and shapely legs
in a tiny pair of denim shorts and skimpy white vest top as the pair hit the
island’s night spots.

She teamed it up with a cowboy hat, which she appeared to be attached to
throughout her trip.

And 16-year-old Harry – the cousin of Sam’s pal Amy Childs – looked delighted
to get out of Essex and beamed as he posed with his friend, while wearing a
yellow t-short and matching hat.

Before leaving the UK, he wrote on his Twitter page: “Omg getting ready for
holiday ahhhhhhhh so excited can’t wait xx”

Sam added: “On the way to the airport !! 🙂 bye Essex!”

But after returning to Britain, she wrote: “I’m upset to be back 🙁 was
so lovey and hot.”

The blonde caused controversy in the show’s Christmas special by hooking up
with love rat Mark Wright.

The ladies’ man, who is best pals with Jack Tweed, had been dating Lucy
Mecklenburgh and still seeing his ex Lauren Goodger at the same time.

This week she rated her on-off lover between the sheets – and insisted that he
was a nice person.

Sam told new! magazine: “I know the real Mark, who’s funny and actually has a
heart. “People just see him as good-looking, flash and a player on the show.
Don’t get me wrong, he is all of those things, but that’s just a small part
of him.

“He’s got a lovely family and he’s really nice. You’d think he’d be nasty
about Lauren, but he’s never bad-mouthed her to me. I think that’s a really
good quality.”

Talking about his skills in the bedroom, she added: “I think when we first met
he was a bit quick, but he’s definitely got better as time’s gone on. I’d
say he’s gone from a six and a half to about an eight.”

And she said she had taken fans’ backlash about her antics with Mark with a
“pinch of salt” and said she didn’t feel guilty about his ex Lauren.

Sam said: “I totally respect that Lauren’s had a lot of history with Mark and,
obviously, she’s still in love with him, but I don’t think that she should
drag me into that. That’s not my problem.”

Meanwhile, Lauren, 24, looked like Mark was the last thing on her mind when
she was snapped out of the town last night.

The brunette seemed to be sporting a fuller pair of lips than usual as she
left the King William IV pub in Essex.

She spoke out this week about Mark – saying they hadn’t spoken since the
festive episode aired.
